It is helping with both anxiety and depression, but not at a level I would call 'satisfactory'. Part of the problem I have with it is that I feel quite dizzy/uncoordinated on it. It was bad enough that I had to switch the dosing to nighttime so it wouldn't adversely effect driving. It's different vs the traditional SSRIs in that I notice more emotional thought in decisions vs meds like Prozac that blunt them at a much greater level. This could be a good thing. A downside is that I don't feel particularly motivated to talk to people, enjoy things or even do chores around the house which is a sign that the depression is not adequately being treated. My depression symptoms have always been more in the mild/moderate range, and this is not a good sign because its probably not going to be strong enough for people that need more help. This may be especially true for those who already been on SSRIs, they started to lose their effectiveness, and looking for something newer or stronger to replace the older ones.
